Sadly we agree on this. While politics will get worse I am still not convinced that Trump is not our low point from a winning candidate standpoint. I still think both parties are afraid to have a self described Nazi or KKK member as a stand bearer, but I was wrong about Trump so I am willing to accept that our society is capable of even worse. If we ever get to the point where Trump seems calm and even keeled I will check out. That will be a society not worth participating in for me, so I will never be nostalgic about the man.

You should make your peace with a Trump second term now. Between voter suppression and fear mongering the R's will hold onto the house and Senate even if it is by a slim margin. As long as the economy doesn't crash before 2020 Trump is back by another slim margin. The wheels will start to come off the economy no matter what in 2021 or 2022. That's when Trump and the R's start to sink with the ship. Trump will still be a hero to his cult for flipping everyone the bird for 2 terms but few others will rally around a lame duck. Hell the R's might even impeach him then just for all the [censored] they had to eat to prop him up.

Allen Weisselberg, chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, was one of the executives who helped arrange $420,000 in payments to Donald Trump’s longtime attorney Michael Cohen to help reimburse him for hush money he paid an adult-film star.

Weisselberg, who got his start working for the president’s father, was granted immunity by federal investigators in New York in exchange for his truthful testimony about his role in the payments, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Nothing to see here folks, it's fake news. WHICH HUNT!

I can't tell truth be told. Originally it sounded like this just happened, but now it sounds like it happened months ago and it is just becoming public knowledge. I would assume Trump knew about it when it happened. Your CFO doesn't just take a day off from the office to testify without the company getting some idea of what is going on. Now that it is common knowledge it hurts the "Cohen is known liar so you can't believe this" line of undermining the testimony. If the CFO corroborates then is he a known convicted liar as well? Best guess is someone in Justice Dept made sure this was noticed by press to counter the Giuliani defense that Cohen is a convicted liar.

Probably not as scary for the wannabe gangster in the white nationalist house as his accountant, but it seems his friend the Pecker was granted immunity as well for testifying. In the end if the Republicans hold the House all of this becomes moot. The response will be "it's not a crime" let's move on.
